Aug 26, 2022 at 23:38 comment added Simon Henry @Mike : Indeed, nice point ! Maybe even better, the Strict $\mathbb{Z}$-categories whose arrows of all dimension are all strictly invertible should also identifies with unbounded chain complex ( I haven't checked it in details, but that should be true for the same reason as why strict $\infty$-groupoids identifies with crossed complex) ncatlab.org/nlab/show/crossed+complex#from_strict_groupoids
Aug 26, 2022 at 21:37 comment added Mike Shulman A precise connection between (1) and (2) (possibly mentioned at the discussion you link to) is that abelian group objects in the category of strict $\mathbb{Z}$-categories are equivalent to unbounded chain complexes.
